A large-scale interventions is proposed—“FORUM”, operating at the scale of community infrastructure, providing a pilot building and a new spatial order for urban center where learning and self-employing as the central organizer of community life. The “FORUM” contains spaces for living, learning and working appropriate to the lives of self-employers in Alamar. More than a means for gentrification, my proposal is to expand the model of self-employment as social and economic propulsion to Alamar people who are often excluded from the contemporary labor market in Cuba.The ambition of the project is to build the link between Alamar and Cuba as well as the link between present and future. Centrality is the goal to be achieved in Alamar with the content of self-employment.
